Star Trek: Picard was originally going to be a Borg spin-off, according to Jonathan Del Arco

Star Trek: Picard featured a significant presence of the Borg throughout the series, given that they were one of Admiral Picard’s [Patrick Stewart] most formidable adversaries. Consequently, confronting the Collective once more, which had transformed him into Locutus, added depth to the series. Interestingly, the extensive appearance of the Borg was due to the original plan for a spin-off series centered around the Borg, before Patrick Stewart agreed to star in Picard.
